The second outburst really caught my attention--I understand bigotry way better than I understand blatant disregard for the truth in fucking public.
Hec, I'm with Matt. Dude. Tunguska.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But it'll still be hard to explain if I start yelling Old West insults across the room in public.
Well, that could be part of the fun in and of itself, I guess.
[Edit:
Sounds like the studying has you tired-out
Not so much the studying, I'm sad to say, but the bureaucratic stuff around it. We're handing in a research grant proposal at the end of the week, with 3 other groups, and I'm assembling everybody's parts on top of writing my own.]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ditto. Although, it was the end of the Golden Globes, so chances are, he was wasted by that point. But still.

Yeah...you know the internets have given so many in-jokes it's like I don't know how to have ordinary conversation.

Oh, I know. And (look how this is all meMeME), when some of those jokes only work in a language that I don't speak daily, things get even more complicated.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I hope I'm not coming off as condoning/excusing slurs. It's totally not where I'm at. I'm just going with benefit of the doubt if he's going to get help for mental problems.

So, you know, benefit of the doubt. The Golden Globes outburst was so weird, it makes me wonder about whether he's batshit.
well, I would go with that, except he keeps saying it. And his publicist said it!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just finished the second of the two things that forced me to come to work today.
It's going to be a long afternoon.

So who'll play you in the sitcom?
I have no idea. Give me a suggestion.
Dear Writer,
When you say "You're the editor, it should be your decision", do not then start arguing with me when I tell you my decision. You won't like my reaction, trust me.

I have two job-search related phone calls to make that I monumentally don't want to.
On the other hand, I really want a job.
I've done all the small immediate things I can think of to put it off, and short of starting laundry...
Yeah. Lemme go call.
